I hate MG and actively avoid selecting any MG. They are terrible cars. This rental there were only MGs available despite there being the appearance of choice at booking. There was a kia sportage or similar in a separate price/offer from the MG HS at the booking page. I chose the kia and got the MG with no other option available at collection.Reviewed Nov 29 2024

Top tips for renting a car from Budget in Glasgow

  • The branches of Budget car hire in Glasgow offer a similar selection of models that you can choose from, particularly suited to the driving conditions in the city. If you're staying in the central business district, it's a good idea to hire a compact city car or an economy car from the downtown branch. You can also get compact SUVs ideal for city traffic. The airport branch has these too, as well as larger sedans, MPVs and other people carriers.
  • When booking Budget car hire in Glasgow it's always a good idea to take advantage of the QuickPass service it offers. This will whisk you through the collections process at any branch of Budget in Glasgow. You can organise everything in advance online, by providing all the necessary details and uploading your documentation.

If your return flight leaves outside of those hours, though, you can use the after-hours drop off service. All you need to do is put your keys in the drop box outside the airport desk. Office hours of the downtown branch are from 08:00 to 17:00 on weekdays, with the office closing at 16:00 on weekends.
  • The speed limits in Glasgow are well signposted and, if not, stick to the national speed limits of Scotland. These allow you to drive at up to 30 mph in built-up areas and up to 60 mph just outside those zones. You can increase your speed to 70 mph when you're on the city's dual carriageways. If you're travelling from Glasgow to tourist attractions outside the city, the speed limit on the motorways is also 70 mph.
